Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: There is significant interest in a better understanding of the genetic underpinnings of the increased glucose metabolic rates of cancer cells. Thyroid cancer demonstrates a broad variability of (18)F-FDG uptake as well as several well-characterized oncogenic mutations. In this study, we evaluated the differences in glucose metabolism of the BRAF(V600E) mutation versus BRAF wild-type (BRAF-WT) in...
